http://www.rediff.com/news/2004/mar/29diary.htm I was rushing to attend Govinda's [ Images ] press conference; the Bollywood star had joined the Congress party and was going to take on BJP stalwart Ram Naik. I just about managed to climb onto an Andheri-bound local train when my cell phone rang. It was an STD call. When I answered, the first word I heard was a polite "Namaskar." "Namaskar," I replied, pleasantly surprised. "Main Atal Bihari Vajpayee [ Images ] bol raha hoon [This is Atal Bihari Vajpayee speaking]," said the voice again. I almost dropped my phone. The voice, however, continued without a pause. "Aap ko tatha aapke parivar ko meri subkamnayein [My best wishes to you and your family]. Paanch saal pehle aapne mujhe seva karne ka mauka diya tha, uske liye dhanyavad [I would like to thank you for the opportunity you gave me five years ago]." I listened intently. Even as he talked about national development and his plans for the future, my mind began to churn with questions I had always wanted to ask the prime minister. Then he said, "Dhanyavad (Thanks)," and, before I could say a word, disconnected. I grinned at myself; I had been fooled by the BJP's latest campaign innovation -- a recorded message from the prime minister.
